AMERICA'S HUNTERS --- Pretty Amazing!

A blogger added up the deer license salesin just a handful of states and arrived at a striking conclusion:

There were over 600,000 huntersthis season in the state of Wisconsin .Allow me to restate that number: Over the last several months, Wisconsin's huntersbecame the eighth largest army in the world.

More men under arms than in Iran.More than France and Germany combined.

These men deployed to the woods of a single American state,Wisconsin, to hunt with firearms, andno one was killed.

That number pales in comparison to the 750,000who hunted the woods of Pennsylvania andMichigan's 700,000 hunters, all of whom have now returned home safely.

Toss in a quarter million hunters in West Virginiaand it literally establishes the fact that the hunters of those four states alone would comprise the largest army in the world.And then add in the total number of huntersin the other 46 states. It's millions more.

Hunting...it's not just a way to fill the freezer.It's a matter ofnational security.

***************************************

That's why all enemies,foreign and domestic,want to see us disarmed.

Food for thought,when next we consider gun control.

Have A Great Day!

Overall it's true, so if we disregard some assumptions that hunters don't possess the same skills as soldiers,the question would still remain...what army of 2 million would want to face 30, 40, 50 million armed citizens?
